60 Second Interview

Malta Independent Sunday, 30 March 2008, 00:00 Last update: about 14 years ago

Captain Drew has recently taken over the drive time slot on 89.7 Bay and loves being able to bring the latest music and details of the local music scene to the nation. Drew is a recent communications graduate from the University of Malta which is fitting to his career in radio, in fact, his ambition is to (one day) break the Guinness world record for the longest radio broadcast!

Drew has a passion for music and is a renowned club DJ. He’s a resident DJ at Axis nightclub and plays at big parties around Malta and Gozo. He is a real blokey-bloke. He lives for adventure and sees life as a thrill ride. He loves to fly and has been whizzing around the Maltese skies for two years now – he’s currently scouting the market for his very own plane.

Drew loves the movies, being on the sea (be it a speed boat or jet ski) and planning to get his full ATPL (Air Transport Pilots Licence) in the not-too-distant future. Tune in to 89.7 Bay during drive time between 3.30 and 6.30pm to find out more.

How old are you? Star sign and date of birth?

I’m a 22-year-old Aquarian.

What would you like to be doing in 10 years’ time?

Wow 10 years?! Well I’ll definitely be broadcasting since it’s been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’ll hopefully own a bigger and faster aeroplane and more importantly I hope to have time to tour Europe with it. Maybe even find some new high-tech method of broadcasting in flight…that would be wicked!!!

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Enjoying a cool drink on a beach in Hawaii…and going for a spin in my little red plane.

What is your favourite occupation?

I’m already doing what I love doing most and honestly I don’t think I’d be happier doing anything else.

What is your greatest fear?

Boredom. I love to keep active and live life to the fullest, having nothing to do would kill me.

What is it that you most value in your friends?

Honesty. I don’t beat around the bush and I expect the same from my friends. Sometimes the truth can hurt but I’d rather have that than the sugar coated version.

How would you like to die?

FAST and QUICK…that is, in a plane crash.

What is your greatest

extravagance?

I like dining out at expensive restaurants. There’s nothing better than good conversation with close friends over dinner.

What is your greatest regret?

Not having a regular exercise routine. It’s my New Year’s resolution every year.

What is your most treasured possession?

My pilot’s licence…to me that document is worth more than its weight in gold.

Which talent would you most like to have apart from the ones you already have?

I would love to be able to play football…unfortunately it is not my forte.

What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?

Stuck in traffic without a radio…it can become very lonely in a car.

Where would you like to live?

USA. The land of endless opportunities.

What is your most marked characteristic?

Well I started babbling when I was 10 months old and I haven’t stopped since. Yes talking has to be it.

Who are your heroes/heroines in real life?

P Diddy. I admire the way he excelled in the music industry and his entrepreneurial spirit.

What is it that you most dislike?

I dislike driving at slow speeds especially when I’m stuck behind a slow car on the fast lane.

What is your motto?

Work as hard as you can to make all your dreams come true... as far fetched as they might be. It’s not in me to give up.
